Battkhortostan was founded on June 16th by LoganTheRed, San_Marcos, and Sikandar following their exile from Kurwa for agitating and participating in the June 14th riots and engaging in sedition through the formation of an opposition party, the True Kurwans. The government was established as a constitutional monarchy but swiftly adopted the model of a Revolutionary Islamic Soviet Socialist Republic. LoganTheRed was elected on July 5th as General Secretary of the Republic. The government was headed by interim official testytigershark until the return of San_Marcos and Sikandar on September 4th.

Battkhortostan on the current map was founded by Killer_Chris and mazznoff on September 22nd with the construction of a small dirt fort not far from what would become the first incarnation of Gribigrad.

The land on which Gribigrad was located would later be sold to YugoTexas of Coenstadt for 24 iron blocks, after originally having been offered 64 iron blocks but then reduced in order to un-ban testytigershark after he had griefed the property while the sale was being discussed.

The refugees created by this sale moved to the Nova Kurwa slums, residing in what would become the future embassy of Battkhortostan.

On September 26th Sikandar nearly caused an international incident including war with both Kurwa and West Rhodes. At this time a plot was hatched against him and he was violently deposed in a coup by then Commissar Killer_Chris. Sikandar went into exile in the mines of Mongrelia claiming to one day return to reclaim his position as leader of Battkhortostan and punish Kurwa and West Rhodes.

From September 26th until December 9th there existed two Battkhortostans, the Battkhortostan RISSR and the Republic of Battkhortostan, caught in a bitter civil war. Besides the initial coup, however, no battles between the nations were actually fought, and it is rumored the whole incident was a scheme of the two Battkhorti leaders to infiltrate and cause unrest in rival governments.

In early December, Sikandar returned from exile. On December 8th he was restored as Guide and Brother-Leader of the Revolution of all Battkhortostan, and on December 9th the warring states officially made peace and were reunified into the Fourth Republic of Battkhortostan. On that same day, Battkhortostan became involved in the Kurwan succession crisis and civil war, which ended in the dissolving of the Common Empire and appointment of YugoTexas as ruler of Kurwa.
